PACE classes meet transfer guidelines but are accelerated to fit into 8 week quarters instead of full 15 week semesters. The PACE program is designed to allow you to earn your AA and be ready to transfer in two years by taking 10 classes every year. The PACE program is an alternative for working people who want to get a college degree by attending classes in the evenings and on Saturday.
